Why Tuthill Water Pump won't prime?
- BbakermelissaAug 12, 2025
If your Tuthill Water Pump won't prime, it could be due to several reasons: * A suction line problem: Check for leaks in the suction line. * An open bypass valve: Remove and inspect the valve to ensure it moves freely and is free of debris. * Sticking vanes: Check the vanes and slots for nicks, burrs, and wear. * Excessive rotor or vane wear: Inspect the rotor and vanes for excessive wear or damage; replace if necessary. * A blocked outlet: Check the pump outlet, hose, nozzle, and filter for blockage. * Vapor lock: Reduce the vertical and horizontal distance from the pump to the liquid; remove the automatic nozzle.
